Weird short story.
Super messed up, but the plot concept is still one of the most intriguing things I’ve ever read.

This story is a hard read in general. It may well be one of the bleakest things I have ever read. The video game adaptation is worse. However, i truly believe if you are able to stomach the sensitive content, this book is definitely worth giving a chance.brassmonkey's review against another edition
